I thought we were talking about upgrading as soon as possible, ie senior lineholder FO => rock-bottom reserve, low pay and no QOL.
Of course it all depends on your seniority and what you want out of life. I must have misunderstood your posting:

At SKW, CRJ FO wins vs. EMB CA in every category except pay which is a wash. Unless you need TPIC or live in a Bro-only base, there's no point in doing the EMB upgrade.

Well I guess some folks just have a need to be large and in charge, so it might be better for them to reign in hell... For me upgrading to the EMB is less about being large and in charge and more about QOL. I can hold a Jr. IAH slot but will be reserve (with a 6 hour commute). I could stay FO, but since I'm a line-holder on the EMB I decided to try that for at least a year. Also, I live in a bro base and am hoping to get a transfer back home... |
I took the upgrade and have been stuck commuting to reserve for nearly 4 years. Been thinking about that downgrade for quite some time now.
To each their own, but I advise anyone NEVER to commute to reserve if you can help it. Especially at a regional. |
Good advise right there. I wish I would have figured that one out sooner. I finally moved to base after 2 years of commuting to reserve. Not too excited about living in an over-crowded and expensive city, but it sure beats the constant stress of commuting to reserve.

How many guys do they run in an RJ class? 10,20,20+??
How likely would it be to get ORD as a new hire? My base choices would be ORD, MSP, IAH. Is there hope of any of these out of class? |

They are running about 20 right now, and you would for sure get one of those out of new hire if you got the jet. FAT is likely if you get the bro.
Does SKW pay for commuter's parking, even partial to a $ limit? Or is it only in base? |

Ya, I got the jet, for 3/28. Happy to hear it's likely. I live in NYC so out of LGA (preferably), easiest commutes are ORD, MSP, IAH.
